Around Sumpter Oaks

The RV Park we are in provides so much nature to enjoy. 

Egrets on a feeding frenzy

This guy looks like he’s working on a prank.

Sandhill Cranes on the wing.

Great to see the pair of Barred Owls in the park.

We can wander over to the birds and they often stroll over to us.   Temperatures have been sitting between low fifties and high sixties have been perfect for getting out for walks and long bike rides on the nearby trails.  Rain has been plentiful, sometimes for a couple of days and nights in a row.  Luckily, the property is sandy so drainage is good and we are not sitting in a mud pit.

Did somebody say carrots?

Damp Donkeys after two days of rain.

I challenge anyone not to laugh at those faces!

Beautiful Palmetto

A few folks have put up Christmas lights but other than that, it really does not look or feel much like Christmas here.

I love the “old-school lights”.

In CC, less is more.  I miss the olden days of receiving paper Christmas cards.

I always have “tree-envy” at this time of year.

My annual dose of Eggnog, I know it is better to make it but not for one.

Sock-monkeys are one of my weaknesses.

Woodsy reds and greens.

Traditional decorations in nearby town Floral City.

The weekly Flea Market sells…EVERYTHING! Displays, merchandise and people-watching are great.

What an insult to Trolls!

Finally, great fashion at affordable prices!

The converted railway lines that are now public, multi-use trails are amazing places to cycle or walk.  Various sections provide different views and foliage.  The railway marker posts showing mileage and elevation changes remain along the trails as a totem to their history. 

This train post has seen better days.
